Forgetting book plots

Post by Zoe303 »

Does anyone else have this problem of forgetting book plots?

When someone asks me about the plot of a book I read, let's say a couple of months ago, I'd be like "Umm...well....hmmm..."! And then the person would think I'm just lying and I have't actually read the book! :? It's really embarrassing! :( I just want to know WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN? :?: I wouldn't forget the plot of a favorite though, thank God! :lol: The weird thing is that it only happens with books, like I wouldn't forget newspaper articles or something I read for college or whatever! And I don't think it could be the consequence of any mental issue, lol!

So, do you have this problem too? or at least know why this could happen?
